Programmatically add an item/event to a SharePoint 2010 calendar

Here,in this post I am going to describes how we can programmatically add an Event to the SharePoint 2010.

In SharePoint, Calendar is nothing but the one type of list.So as we are adding item in it,we can create the event for Calendar.

We go here step by steps.So.let’s begin.

(1) Creating the Calendar.

//Get  the Site under which you want to create Calendar.

SPSite site = new SPSite(http://localhost);
SPWeb web = site.AllWebs[0];

//Give the Type of List you want to create,in Our case it’s noting but Calendar.
SPList list = web.Lists["Calendar"];

Now,Up to this we has the instance of Calendar list.

(2)Adding Event In to Calendar.

To Add/Create the calendar we need to update following field.

Field Name	Type
Location	String
Start Time	DateTime
End Time	DateTime
Description	String
Title	String
Category	String
fAllDayEvent	Boolean

 

//Adding event into list
  SPListItem newEvent = list.Items.Add();

newEvent["Location"] = “This is location”;

newEvent["Start Time"] = DateTime.Now;

newEvent["End Time"] = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);

newEvent["Description"] = “Going for Meting”;

newEvent["Title"] = “New Meting”;

newEvent["fAllDayEvent"]  =  false;

newEvent["Category"] = “Meting”;
 

//Create Event in the sharpoint.        
newEvent.Update();

Your,final code will look like this.

//Get  the Site under which you want to create Calendar.

SPSite site = new SPSite(http://localhost);
SPWeb web = site.AllWebs[0];

//Give the Type of List you want to create,in Our case it’s noting but Calendar.
SPList list = web.Lists["Calendar"];

//Adding event into list
  SPListItem newEvent = list.Items.Add();

newEvent["Location"] = “This is location”;

newEvent["Start Time"] = DateTime.Now;

newEvent["End Time"] = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);

newEvent["Description"] = “Going for Meting”;

newEvent["Title"] = “New Meting”;

newEvent["fAllDayEvent"]  =  false;

newEvent["Category"] = “Meting”;

//Create Event in the sharpoint.        
newEvent.Update();

Enjoy your Calendar Event.
